USA 2019
Dir: Joe Talbot
★★★
Well meaning, award-winning drama on the gentrification and displacement of Jimmie Fails, a young man trying to reclaim his childhood home in San Francisco. His friendship with Montgomery Allen (Jonathan Majors) is touching. There is much to admire in this unusual film notably a wonderful score, superb cinematography and impressive set pieces. Taking the film as a whole however, there were moments where I struggled to fully engage with it due to the structure and slow pace. Wanted to like it more.
